Changelog

All the latest updates, improvements, and fixes.

v1.7.1 • Relaxo RC3

UI visual cleanup, banner below to show when adblocker has found the logo

  • [New Shortcut] Long press on selector toggle in channels menu to alter between adblock modes (just mute and full channel swap)
  • [New Shortcut] Expand messy infobar buttons by pressing the jigsaw
  • [New Shortcut] Hide messy infobar buttons and play button by pressing the time box
  • [Playlist Parsing] fixed some bugs and sped up playlist parsing
  • [Tips] shows the number of attempts to grab the new logo (upto 5 over 5 mins then it stops)

v1.0.4 • Relaxo RC2

Adblocker Settings have been reworked for simplicity. Logo masks now save to DB. Bug fixes for "just distort" blur mode and more.

  • [Settings] simplified to 3 presets for ad replacement modes (just mute, mute + distort, just switch streams)
  • [Video Filters] added ENDARKEN_PRO video filter for cooking shows that are way too bright (they are bright to make the ads less jarring btw)
  • [Video Filters] default filter not re-applied after restart failed stream or jolt to new stream
  • [Video Filters] removed crazy/psychodelic party filters that obscure logo
  • [Blur Mode] respite request (VOL_UP) not lifting visual distortion after end of advert
  • [Logo Masks] instant logo detection on start-up, logo masks saved for 7 days instead of being rebuilt upon every stream start
  • [Logo Masks] hold TICK button to clear & rebuild the current logo mask of any channel at any time - if system not working perfectly and viewer window shows a bad grab or storing stale logo mask.
  • [Logo Masks] infraction detection system disabled during beta because too compute intensive and only 2 seconds quicker (a.k.a. promos & logo tumor detection)
  • [Logo Masks] More accurate inkblot over broadcast logo - 1080p and 720p only
  • [Infobar] Phone Mode: infobar timeout resets every tap away (no more getting stuck always showing)
  • [Adblocker] long press "kill ad" button to toggle on/off of whole logo matching system which also re-enables KEEP button if disabled.
  • [Touch Screen] swipe up in middle of screen for temporary logo matching respite - turns off adblocker temporarily when logo is obscured by white noise - more refined than VOL_UP +15s
  • [Menu] speed improvements for timer menu population
  • [Menu] default to grouped menu for phone on left swipe
  • [Menu] grouped channels menu reworked to have more natural "scroll to auto dismiss" the last selected programme info
  • [Menu] faster loading of large playlists (500 channels max please)
  • [Bumpers] increased accuracy so tagging "Bull" does not cause "Raging Bull" to be avoided.
  • [Bumpers] prefer auto move to something on most recent favourite channels first
